The well-known Dance of Death, by Hans Holbein, which has been lately illustrated with wood-cuts, by Bewick (one of the most spirited engravers of his day) has afforded a few striking hints, of which Mr. Dagley, in his present volume, has ably availed him self. The idea, however, of making death (the skele ton) a subject for ridicule, i s no t o riginal even with Holbein, for some of the Greek epigrams turn espe cially upon this subject. But Holbein first collected the scattered whims of Lucian and Rabelais—both of whom are replete with humour, on the prolific topic of man's mortality ;—and formed them into a series of sketches, which, for startling contrasts, severe morality, ,end expert caricature, have .never ',et been equalled. Mr. Dagley, therefore, has fearful (Ads to contend with, but this, instead of cowing, has evidently in flamed, his emulation ; and lie has accordingly ac quitted himself with success, if not as an equal, at least as an imitator of ids great master. Among the various etchings in the present volume '(twenty-four in number) we would first particularise the Scroll, which is really very impressive, for the figure of death has a sublimity about him that we cannot look on with out awe: the attitude of the lady at his feet is graceful and easy, and placed in fins relief to the bony phantom. " The Cricketers" we think puerile, both in conception and execution ; but 4 ‘ The Captive," which immediately follows, is far above caricature ; it rises almost to the grandeur of historical painting. The appearance of the prisoner in his dungeon, his emaci ated yet still unsubdued look, together with the skeleton who stands before him, majestic in, his, very repose, are contrasts which could only have been rendered ef ficient by first-rate ability. But even these, startlk thobgh they be, are nothing to the etching entitle& " The Mother," where Death, as a nurse, sits feeding an infant, while the mother lolls beside a pianoforte. The bare idea of this is terrible : the cradle and the grave ; the smile of childhood and the grin of death, thus brought into unnatural conjunction with each other, possess a dreadful impressiveness, whose truth we cannot admit without a shudder. " The Hypo choudriac" is remarkable rather for its outrageous caricature than for any pointed contrast it pos sesses. It is, in fact, no ccrntrast at all ; for disease is mixed up in the mind with death, an d the plate being surrounded with emblems of mortality (physic) makes the grave anything but unexpected.— The " Antiquary" lies under a similar imputation ; for the . past itself is . death--the tomb to most of us of buried hopes and friendships--so the skeleton is superfluous. The " Champion" is a good idea, and, what is better, universally intelligible, the Phan tom being represented as standing victor in a prise ring, with a squad of pugilists lying floor'd at his feet —" a consummation devoutly to be wished." The 44 Apoplectic, " (or death officiating as waiter to a fat elderly gentleman at a turtle feast,) will edify the na tives of Guildhall ; it is, in short, an instructive coni- mentar7 on a Lord Mayor's dinner. The Las Bottle will, no doubt, tell well at both the Univer sities, and as we-are in the humour, we will beg l e ave to illustrate it ourselves. In the Anuary of 1819, six friends (two of Reading school) dined together at Downing College, Cambridge ;'and afterthe usual allow ance of wine, left the room at ten o'clock for Barnwell. The night was piercing cold, and whether it was that the contrast between a heat, dining-room and a January frost, brought on an unconquerable drowsiness, we cannot say, but certain it is that one of the party (highly intoxicated) separated from his friends as they were all merandertng, together over Parker's Piece, laid himself down in a ditch, first taking off his clothes and placing his watch under his head, or, as he sup posed, his pillow, and then deliberately - slept to death. Sic transit gloria ?nundi ! The " Academic Ho nours" is a striking sketch, fate is visibly pourtrayed in the wan countenance of the senior wrangler, who waits to receive his laurel crown from Death, Vice- Chancellor of the grave; while numberless scientific treatises lie like memento marl's at his feet. The " Empiric" is good, and furnishes a hint for Dr. Eady, who, we hope, will one day be induced, as a warning to other Quacks, to take his own physic by mistake. The " Lawyer" is admirably satirical, but both Death and the Attorney are so much like each other s that we know not which is whi c h ; perhaps in point of beaut Death has got the advamage. An " Epi logue(' closes the series, wherein our thin • victor is supposed to address the various trades and profea sions ; advising the attorney (a difficult matter) to become honest ; the physician (impossible) to cure instead of kill ; the epicure to eat a ton less ; the soldier to be humane—the mechanic, industrious, and so forth .—.4n which case, adds the bony phantom, all classes will aillce hail mu as a friend. So much for Mr. Dagley's share in this volume ; his prose and poetic contributors are equally stlocessiul. The tale illustrative of the liyphoq4udriac, though insipid, is good—sok also, is the last bottle, in which Mr, ,l e ra g i writes himself down a Lon vivant, And quotes Rabelais ; an author with whom, we doubt his acquaintance. The song, entitled khe " B acc b ana li ans ," is as good as such wch songs are apt to be—that is, marvellously stupid, and makes us almost wish for death to come and.relieve tie frfau the infliction, The essay, baptised ‘4 Pia* vitee," sho u ld rat h er b e called, Sonini," for reasons that will be evi, dent to the reader. It has bQWever one rood song entitled '4 The Shades," which we quote entire. THE SHADES, I sing not of SUADII whit ihey tell of Where 'Huta and PrOlierPi,ne " i g 4 644 of She * t ants wnere wine-oinner s go, Where a stream of Oporto loth constantly A Lethe to wash sway pain.

The The Po e t," ill ustrat i ve o f - opening stanzas, " death, putting an extinguisher on an author's midnight l a mp, are expressive and spirited. 'We only wish the gr i s ly phantom would perform the slope kind office to some other literary lamps,and the world., we conceive, would be benefited. re subjoin the poem for our reader's amusement. THE POET. Thou art vanish's:l ! Like the blast Bursting from the midnight ' , loud ; Like the lightning thou art past,— Earth has seen no nobler shroud ! Now is queuch'd the flashing eye, Now, is chillid the burning brow, • All the poet that can die • Homer's self is but as thou. -Thou but drunk life's richest draught, Glory, tempter of the soul ! Wild and deep thy spirit quaff 'd, There was poison in the bowl. Then the haunting visions rose, Spectres round thy bosom's throne. Poet! what shall paint thy woes, But a pencil like thine own ? Thou art vanisled ! Earthly Fame, See of what thy pomps are made ! Genius! stoop thine eye of flame ! Byron's self is but a shade. ALFRED. The following extract from a poem by Mr. Penny, entitled « The Artist," is any thing but catch penny it is, indeed, fraught with rich luxuriant description, and as such demands insertion. What joy is his, Amid the forest depths to wander on, O'er flower-output - pled path, and list the tones Of the deep waterfall at silent noon, Drowning the woodlark's song; and, then, to view Its angry flood, headlong from rock to rock, Leaping in tliund'rous rush, with silvery arch,-- Melodiously sublime! while o'er its mists, That to the sun a mimic rainbow spread, The guardian oaks bend lovingly their arms, And drink the pearly moisture : in their shade The lily blossoms on ►ts mossy bank, And through their boughs wildly the sutnn►er breeze, An ever-wand'ring harper sings unheard. And, oh ! how sweet to him the sunset hour, When, high amid the evening's glowing pumps That light the west, the mountain lifts iss A rich empurplsd pillow for the God Of day to rest on, as he, like a king In coronation 'splendour, gaily bids Ilia worshippers farewell- On the whole, we have no doubt that this volume will be successful. The present age is an ago of sti mulus, and requires to be shocked by forcible epi grammatic contrasts into attention. 'Mr. Dagley has judiciously supplied these contrasts : he has brought impressively before us the only two considerations, which, as long as the world lasts, will be universally intelligible, life and death; and thus afforded an homily, that, more or less, must come home to the hearts of all. The moral, however, to be drawn from the book is melancholy : it is like a jest spoken with a moist eye ; a witticism uttered beside the tomb of a friend. Every page. puts forth some fresh memewto of mortality in one place we are required to smile at the death of the young and beautiful ; in another, to sneer at distress; and in all to remember that the world, taken even in its best sense, is nothing but a boundless sepulchre, wherein are inscribed the names alike of the mean and mighty, the enlightened and the ignorant of earth. HEADS TO SELL ! I In the year 1694, a Turkibh merchant cams into England offering for sale a variety of Heads of all sorts and sizes, some with, and some without beards, which had once belonged to old, ugly, and handsome folks. Many of the nobility purchased these human curiosi ties at extravagant prices. Oh yes—.43l, yes—oh yes_ I've heads, prime heads to sell, All bargains more or less, So buy, I'll use you well. Here's one, Sir, fat and full, Well suited to the mob, is Is so thick and dull, Folks call it William Collett.

Alike sublime your trade is, One jilts the beads of men, And one, the hearts of ladies.

A young gentleman of some consideration, residing in Sloane-street, who, it appears, spent a handsome fortune, attempted to put a period to his existence by taking a strong dose of laudanum, which he purchased the previous evening, but, by the, medical aid of Mr. Kenny, of the Strand, who administered an immediate antidote, the young gentleman is in a fair way of re covery. ROBBERY AT THE POST-ofP/CR.—.Oll the 7th or Bth of December,* letter , containing 1,0001 . in Bank of England notes, the property of th e fir m o f Sir Ittearr Glyn, was put into the Post-office by one cii; the per sons employedby- the house. In a for day s i t was ascertained that the letter had not been received as di rected, a and upon inquiry at the Bank, it was f oun d that the notes heti keen changed for sovereigns in the m orning afiler the letter was sent from the banking ho,lso. An investigation was made into the circum stance of the loss, and it was thought that the letter m ight have dropped in the street ; at all events, that it liacl never been put into the Post-office. The affair lay quiet for a length of time, and the impression Oat the letter had been lost in the street still existed. A few days ago, however, information was received at the house of Sir It. C. Glyn, stating, that one of the letter-carriers, or sorters, at the Post $ -0 ce, had broken open the letter and disposed of the notes to a well known "ince. The two persons who have been thus, a s it is reported, dealing with the property uf the b a nkers, are to custody, MEETINGS OF CREDITORS. LONDON DIARY, TUItiIDAY, OCT. 10.

Mr- Protheroe's, Newport ll LIBERALITY OF THE KING 05 BAVARIA.--..}lis Majesty the King of Bavaria has made a most liberal present towards the relief of the suffering Greeks. His Majesty thus expresses himself in a letter t o M. Ey nerd, which the latter has forwarded to the Greek committee at Paris In order to relieve the mi sery of the Eastern Christians, I had subscribed the sum of 20,000 florins (1,8001.), payable in ten con secutive months. As this aid may possibly come too late, I place this sum at once at your disposal ; i even double it, so that you may be able to meta the suc cour you send more efficacious. This sum of 40,000 florins (3,6000, which you may have immediately, are independent of the sum of 20,000 florins which I remitted you for the redemption of Greek women and children. With what sweet satisfaction I make this further sacrifice on behalf of these unfortunate Chris tians I Fox am I not myself a man and a Christian?" Besides these contributions, amounting together to upwards of 5,000/., his Majesty, during his summer residence at Brucknau, forbade the fetes and illumina tions which the townships wished to make in honour of him, and told the Magistrates that he should be better pleased if the stuns de:signed to be expended on these occasions were given, half to the poor of the dis tricts, and half to the aid of the suffering population of Greece. Tlig mtiniation was obeyed, and consider able subticriptions from private individuals were added. STATE oil. TRAor.—There was a fair business done here on Tuesday; and considerably more would have been done bad the spinners and man u f ac t urers consented to take the prices that were offered. Thu late rise in cotton, and the great sales of last week, combining to create an impression that the raw ma terial woidd probably have a further advance, the spin. nets have demanded something like A proportionate rise on yarn. They have not yet, however, in any in stance, we believe, established an advance equal to the additional cost of production; and spinning May be fairly called 'an unprofitable business at the present moment. The mills are, hoWever, tai full work, and the very extensive demand for foreign and home con sumption, has greatly diminished the stocks which had accumulated during the spring and summer. In Cali coes and fustians an advance has been realised ; upon the former, both of hand-laom and powerplooininsum. facture, a rise from 10 to 121 per cent. above the . lowest quotations of the late stagnation, my he coma dered as fully established; and ii ellien advance, say 21 to 5 per cent. has been obtained upon grey cords and ielveteens.
